Hah. Southern Europe and Asia, Africa, Madagascar, and Aus- 

 tralia. In Europe inhabiting Spain, Switzerland, Lower Austria, 

 Italy, and Sicily ; in Asia, Syria, India, Ceylon, Burma, Southern 

 China (Amoy), Japan, Philippine Islands ; extending through the 

 Malay Archipelago to Australia ; probably generally distributed 

 throughout Africa and Madagascar. 



Although so widely separated, specimens of this species from 

 Europe and Australia differ to no appreciable extent, except in the 

 colour of the fur. This difference in colour evidently depends upon 

 the latitude of the country inhabited, as examples from colder 

 countries have fur of a much paler shade than those from warmer 

 regions.
